Patna: The Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) Bihar unit president C.P. Thakur refused to withdraw his resignation Saturday, a day after he stepped down saying that he was unhappy with the distribution of tickets to contest the upcoming assembly polls.

A BJP leader close to Thakur said that the latter would not take part in campaigning for the elections as well. Thakur resigned from the party post after his son was denied a ticket to contest the state assembly elections.

'Thakur will hold a meeting with his supporters Saturday to decide the final course of action. So far he is not ready to withdraw his resignation,' the BJP leader said.
